The study's authors said these storms could increase with climate
change, possibly leading to further increases in
snow accumulation.
Don't infer the
snow accumulation history from NOAA's climate
change models, because that history doesn't correlate with NOAA's own published data on timing of
snow accumulation rates near the poles.
A 2015 study using regional ice core data reveals no unusual temperature
changes but an exceptional 30 % increase in
snow accumulation during the twentieth century, again supporting Zwally's analysis of mass gain in interior west Antarctica.
Streamflow projections indicate timing shifts in all three watersheds, predominantly because of
changes in the dynamics of
snow accumulation and melt.
Dansgaard et al. (1989); increasingly abrupt
changes were seen on further study, Johnsen et al. (1992); Grootes et al. (1993); jumps of Greenland
snow accumulation «possibly in one to three years» were reported by Alley et al. (1993); see Alley (2000); five - year Younger Dryas steps: Taylor et al. (1997); a Younger Dryas temperature step in less than a decade was found to be hemisphere - wide since methane gas
changed as well, Severinghaus et al. (1998).
Mass Gains of the Antarctic Ice Sheet Exceed Losses http://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20120013495 SCAR ISMASS Workshop, July 14, 2012 «During 2003 to 2008, the mass gain of the Antarctic ice sheet from

Glaciochemical and particulate data record atmospheric - loading
changes with little uncertainty introduced by
changes in
snow accumulation.
However, logging had opened the forest canopy,
changing the pattern of snowfall

That all
changed with the Supreme Judicial Court's 2010 decision, Papadopoulos v. Target Corp., in which the court abolished any legal distinction between natural and unnatural
accumulations of
snow and instead said that a property owner has a duty to act «as a reasonable person under all the circumstances» with regard to removal of
snow and ice.
